What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Already feeling off from starting another new medication, then dad had to say some hurtful awful things when he stopped by. We were standing outside when he said it so I couldn't reply. The neighbors and their kids don't need to hear that. Not like it'd do much good to say it anyhow, he's just a condescending bully.
 
Feeling better today.

Feeling like I have hope.

Well I realised in therapy that I have been stuck in a trauma state for awhile. So that is why I have been so stuck. I feel like I might start to get on top of things now.

I don't know how to explain it too well but I will give it my best shot. I have been going over and over a childhood trauma being stuck in the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. My psychiatrist explained it better yesterday.

I have kept getting stuck in that state a fair bit so now I have an understanding of it - not that I am explaining it too clearly - but now I understand that a bit more I will have to do some hard yards and hard work to move on, b ut it is at least possible now.

I don't want to be too graphic but there were a series of traumas as a small child that left me flattened and hoping for rescue or some help from a responsible adult. I kept slipping into that child influenced state or perspective.

So I am grateful for having some hope.
 
Still feeling the effects of Seroquel from last night, so I feel floaty and mostly free from anxiety. Maybe it's a sign that I should up my Seroquel more? I definitely feel better when I take 50mg more than I'm supposed to - I feel a lot calmer at night and during the day. Might have to talk about this with my doctor.
 
Feeling better today!

It has been a difficult week so far. Monday was the 4th anniversary of my 18 year old son. I have only two kids, and my 19 year old daughter the youngest isn't really talking to me. She moved out a few weeks ago with her boyfriend, she thinks I'm not doing anything to help myself. I haven't been paid LTD since April, my husband brought this to my attention yesterday morning. Tough week!

My daughter dropped in yesterday to pickup a few things and spoke to me a little. I asked if her and her boyfriend wanted to have dinner one evening? She is considering it. So at least it's a start, I was happy she even spoke to me. I spent 1.5 hrs on the phone getting my LTD straightened out, should see money by the end of the week. One of my friends who is a retired psyc. manager, found a clinic that has people that deal with PTSD. I contacted them yesterday and 2 of the psyciatrists said they would be happy to help. This is huge for me, I'm really happy that I finally found someone that knows what they are doing.

There is some blue sky out there! :)
 
I had a restless night and feel really tired.

Seeing the haematologist on Friday to find out what is going on with my blood.

I'm looking after my friends cat who has just come in from the rain and curled up on my knee, she tried to curl up on my laptop but I moved it. Now I'm having trouble typing! :D
